'High School Loser'

The Script

Scene One

Fade into the shot taken from what looks like a forest. It's in the middle of the day and we can see trees surrounding Edwardo, Edwardo is writing in his note pad about the worst day of his life.

V.O. Edwardo: Hi. I’m Edwardo Frederico (What was my mother thinking, right?), and this is me, the joke of my entire school. I’ve decided to run far, far away. And if you’re wondering why I’m here, I’ll show you. I’ll take you back to the beginning of the worst day of my life.

Scene two

Flashback to earlier that day, Edwardo is walking to school alone, from the surroundings we can tell this is the school drive. In the shot we can see two girls pointing and laughing at him.

Stupid Girl one: Oh my god,(laughing hysterically) like what is he wearing?

Stupid girl one: Like come on, I have an idea.

The two girls run off camera shot as Edwardo continues to walk to school.

A snowball appears out of nowhere and flies towards Edwardo’s head. Then the titles appear after Edwardo has fallen to the floor, ‘High school Loser’ appears on the screen.

Scene three

Cut to Edwardo walking up the stairs and we hear Edwardo talking:

V.O Edwardo: You see I’ve got a dark secret, darker than my hair, which is totally cool, right? And I’ve had to live with this secret since I was five years old.

Scene four

There is a group of girls stood at the top of the stairs, they laugh, point and call him a loser. Then we cut to Edwardo walking down the corridor where he bumps into Arnie.

Arnie: Oi! Loser! Give me your stuff now!

Edwardo runs away,

Oi, where you going!

Arnie chases him.

Edwardo stops after realising that Arnie had his coat

Arnie: If you want your stuff come and get it.

Edwardo slowly returns to Arnie to fetch his coat believing he would get it back.

Arnie: Give me you bag now (pause) Bag!

Edwardo drops his bag with a little scream and runs away leaving his coat and his bag with the bully.

The bully puts on his coat and picks up his bag,

Arnie: Very nice.

Scene five

Edwardo is stood in the corridor, he is upset and looking down he doesn't see the point in going to lesson since no one notices him or likes him, so he sees no point.

A group of lads walk out a class room talking to each other. Then they notice Edwardo stood on his own.

Bully 1: Oi! You owe me money.

Edwardo: That's funny, that's what your mum said last night.

Bully 1: You what!

Hannah appears out of nowhere and punches Edwardo's bully in the face. He falls to the ground. It Freezes mid-punch and Edwardo speaks,

V.O. Edwardo: That's Hannah, she's my best... well... only friend. And. I'm secretly in love with her.

Continues...

Hannah stands there laughing whiles the other bullies are checking to see if their mate is okay, suddenly the headteacher walks round the corner.

Mrs Bigg: Miss Smith, step away from Mr Bent, and get over here now!!!!

Mrs Bigg winks at Edwardo. Edwardo shivers as he is disturbed.

V.O. Edwardo: That’s my mom (pause) she is the head teacher of this hell hole. Don't ask about the hair, it just grows and grows and grows, then it all gone.
